CBS 75th anniversary show
Not sure if any of you members caught the CBS 75th. Typical show produced by 30 somethings. with a little nod to historical items. Although a nice salute to William Paley, most delt with 60's to present time. What is pertinent to this forum is the all to brief segment on color tv. There was an interesting color clip of a Burns & Allen show. The announcer Harry Von Zell says: "The Burns & Allen show in color." Followed by the brief film clip of the stars. This series ran from 1950 to '58. I presume this was not from the CBS sequential period. I believe that was only live programing. This looked more mid 50's. In the '50's CBS would show various programs in color on a one time basis. I guess this justified the color equipment and perhaps sold a few CBS color sets.
